REPAIR Act Introduced in U.S. Senate, Bringing it to Both Chambers of Congress

The REPAIR Act has been introduced in the U.S. Senate recently, accompanying its presence in the House of Representatives, as shared in an Auto Care Association press release.

Introduced by Senators Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) and Josh Hawley (R-MO), the bipartisan, bicameral legislation was recently reintroduced in the House of Representatives by Reps. Neal Dunn (R-FL-02) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA-03). With the bill’s presence now in the Senate, the REPAIR Act is now able to advance in both chambers of Congress.

The move has prompted recognition from several industry organizations, including ACA, MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers, CAR Coalition, CVSN, Preventative Automotive Maintenance Association, and NFIB.

“The Auto Care Association applauds Senators Luján and Hawley for introducing the commonsense, bipartisan REPAIR Act in the Senate,” said Bill Hanvey, ACA president and CEO. “Thanks to their leadership, federal right to repair protections are gaining ground in both chambers of Congress. We’re committed to protecting the nearly 300 million drivers and more than 900,000 technicians in this country who depend on the $500 billion auto care industry. And we’ll do that by working together to turn the commonsense REPAIR Act into law.”
